I am getting ready to attempt Half Dome for the first time next week, and really want to start early, and summit before sunrise, so that I can watch the sunrise. With that said, is the trail marked well enough to hike it at night? Are there any added dangers to hiking it at night? So excited!!

Thousands of people hike that well maintained, wide trail each month during summer. Probably not going to be much of a wilderness experience. compared to trails that I prefer to hike, the Half Dome trail has more in common with a freeway.
